Title: Need a new computer
Post by: nirvana on November 03, 2005, 05:03:07 PM

Well I have finally convinced my dad that his computer(Windows 95, pentium processor:O ) is barely good enough to be a paper weight.  So i am currently searching for a build your own or pre setup system.  $600 or lower, need it for checking e mails and maybe playing games, but if its possible, good enough to play AH just so I can do FSO.  I've heard some low end Dell's can play it barely but I need a little more input.  No onboard video either please.

Go AMD, cheaper and Intel blows goats.

If you know how to build one check out http://www.newegg.com.

Very good prices on stuff.

I bought a refurb eMachines from TigerDirect.com.  Put in a real graphics card and added RAM and I am happy as a clam for under $450.
